About Scholarships
The Foundation welcomes the opportunity to create named scholarships for friends, alumni or others with an interest in the high school. Contact the Foundation regarding your interest in establishing a scholarship.
Contributions and other fund raising activities are used to provide student scholarships and teacher grants. Contributions can be earmarked by the donor to be used by any of these particular funds. Several businesses and civic groups contribute money to the Foundation to be awarded as well. As a general rule, these scholarships are awarded to deserving students who do not otherwise receive grants or scholarships from colleges or universities yet have maintained high academic achievement and service to their school. This program is a way to recognize their contributions.
Named scholarships: Tyndara Meffe, Ross and Dolores Maruka, Seth Burton, Anthony Pizatella, Rex Stalnaker, Bob "Big D" DeLorenzo, and Davidson Family. Memorials, bequests and contributions to maintain or establish scholarships are always welcomed and encouraged. 2006 was the 13th year that the Foundation has awarded scholarships. 152 scholarships have been presented to Fairmont Senior graduates totaling $75,550. In addition, we have awarded grants to teachers and made other contributions within the guidelines of the Bylaws.
Scholarships can be established to honor loved ones, friends, teachers and others with a significant attachment to Fairmont Senior. The Foundation prefers that an endowed scholarship be funded at an appropriate level to sustain annual awards over time. The current recommendation is at least $15,000; however, $25,000.00 is considered ideal. There are various options available by contacting Carol Amos. Generally scholarships and monetary awards begin at a level of $1000.00. Donors or organizers of an endowed scholarship may direct the award of the money to a designated person or specify general criteria for applicable candidates. However, the criteria and purpose must be approved by the Foundation Board. The Foundation is happy to provide advice for ways to create such a scholarship.
